Lama Kathy Wesley begins by demonstrating that to experience the happiness we seek, we must first transform our habit of self-cherishing. By training in loving kindness and compassion, Lojong Practice provides the antidote for self-cherishing and, therefore, the foundation for genuine happiness. However, we must first tame our mind. Therefore, Lama Kathy teaches samatha and leads a practice session. Lama Kathy explains that The Seven Points of Mind Training is not simply a collection of slogans. Rather it is a complete system of practice starting with preliminaries and leading to enlightenment.

"Some days it's easy to practice kindness and compassion; other days its isn't. The weekend will focus on training the mind in love and working with compassion in the best of times and int the worst by bringing the pracice of tong-len (sending and receiving) into one's daily life.
